Higher rain totals shifting NE.

1-26-25. 3:15pm.

Looking over the latest rain totals, the models were pretty accurate with their forecasts of very little rain for much of our area. A few of you found a tenth of an inch or more in your rain gauges (especially east of San Antonio), but for the most part, most of us recorded only a few hundreds of an inch of rain this morning. We will continue to be mostly cloudy with chances for drizzle and fog in the morning from Monday-Wednesday.

Over the past 48 hours, I’ve noticed that the models are shifting the higher rain totals more and more to the NE. While that is not a trend I was to continue seeing, at this point, we still have a chance for a decent rain event for areas along and east of I-37 and along and north of HWY-90 and I-10 East happening Wednesday-Friday morning. There will be a chance for some thunderstorms during this event, BTW.

An upper-level low is already visible on water vapor satellite imagery this afternoon, giving some much needed rain relief to south California as I work on this post. This low will track to the SE, east and then NE over Big Bend and eventually north Texas this week. A Pacific cool front will also move our direction, boosting our rain odds, especially on Wednesday night and Thursday. By Friday afternoon, we should start clearing out behind the front.
